It will be different for every individual track rod end, or at the very least every manufacturing batch of them. No idea in Belgium but in the UK it's not particularly expensive.

They dont even sell them here I think Always buying on minisport So if anyone knows how many times I need to spin the minisport ones it would be very helpfull:) otherwise I'll be going to let them tracked when the engine is back in:p

  I was referring to the price of tracking, rather than the price of a TRE, as that's what you asked!

As Dan has pointed out, the t.r.e may be of differing length to the original. Therefore for the same amount of turns you could have the t.r.e pin a different distance from the end of the track rod.

Plenty of threads about doing your own tracking if you want to give it a go.

I'll give it a go myself untill I can go to the guy who does it professionally. So I can atleast drive there

By the way, if you have a lot of negative camber, you need longer TREs to get sufficient thread engagemengt to be safe, and the part you want, a Herald/Spitfire/Vitesse/GT6 TRE, is usually slightly cheaper from Triumph suppliers than Mini suppliers, because it is a standard part as far as they are concerned, not a special. Hopefully that info will save someone a quid or so....

[Dusky]

I dont really know about my camber etc.. The mini is standard( only a tweaked engine) dont know if the camber changes over time?

[tiger99]

No, only if you have fitted negative camber lower arms, so you will just be using standard Mini TREs.
